Rat's... my rebuilt pump came with a thin gasket. I will have to search for a thicker gasket locally. Great discussion everyone.
John, I really enjoyed your article in the last PAC news Bulletin; great story.
39super8, in an earlier discussion about insulating gaskets, sleeves, and washers O_D commented about how critical the gasket thickness on the 3-piece straight-8s is. If I recall correctly, a gasket much thicker than is used on the mono block 8s is needed. I am sure someone here knows all about it and can advise you.
Thanks for the compliment on the article. It is a fun story to tell so I decided to write it and submit it for publication. I did this months ago and guess that Craig finally ran out of things to publish. It is nice to see it in print. Thanks.
